SIGNIFICANT CHANGES FROM PDC 399 ARE HIGHLIGHTED 

4. BACKGROUND: 

a. Intent of the revision: To establish a new Supply Condition Code (SCC) T for ‘Serviceable 

(Ammunition Suitable for Training Use Only)’. 

 b. Scenario for which the code is used: To identify ammunition assets originally 

intended for combat use, which no longer meet established criteria for combat applications but 

which can be safely used for training applications, i.e., an armor piercing round determined not 

to meet acceptable penetration capability for designed combat application, but which is 

acceptable for range training. 

c. Procedures, transactions, data elements, processing details in use today: 

Currently, those items that have been reclassified from combat applications to training use 

only are assigned to SCC “B” (Serviceable Issuable with Qualifications) and grouped with 

all other qualifiers identified by SCC “B.” 
Attachment, ADC 446

5. APROVED CHANGE: 

a. Requested change in detail: Revise DoD 4000.25-2-M, MILSTRAP, Appendix 2.5, Federal 

Condition Code, to add new Supply Condition Code T, with explanation as follows. Change is 

identified by bold, red italics (corresponding change would be made to the DLMS Data Dictionary) : 

CODE TITLE EXPLANATION

T SERVICEABLE (AMMUNITION 

SUITABLE FOR TRAINING USE 

ONLY) 1

New, used, repaired, or reconditioned ammunition 

stock originally intended for combat use but due to 

condition, function, or performance characteristics is 

serviceable and issuable for training use only. 

Authorized for Intra-Service use and authorized for 

staggered implementation for inter-Service use by 

agreement of impacted trading partners.

1 Ordnance Information System (OIS) implementation date for SCC T is October 1, 2012. OIS is used by 

Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard. For Army, further analysis is required to determine supportability 

and implementation timeline for incorporation of SCC T in Army’s Logistics Modernization Program 

(LMP). Air Force has no plans to implement SCC T at this time. Refer to ADC 446.

b. Alternatives: Continue use of SCC “B” to address training use only restrictions and expand 

current Defect Code definitions published in Joint Conventional Ammunition Policies and 

Procedures (JCAPP 08) to aid in segregating those assets assigned SCC “B” based on restrictions to 

training use and those assets assigned to SCC “B” for other reasons. 

STAFFING NOTE: Navy indicates that Ammunition Defect Codes are published in Joint Conventional 

Ammunition Policies and Procedures (JCAPP 08), and select Service documents. For the Navy/Marine 

Corps and Coast Guard the document is NAVSUP P-805 Appendix D.

6. REASON FOR CHANGE: Provide a more efficient and cost effective manner to manage assets that 

have been reclassified from combat use to training use only. Provide increased visibility of training use 

assets permitting more efficient management of both combat usable and restricted training use only assets. 

7. ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES: 

 a. Advantages: Clear re-identification of assets designed for combat use but restricted to 

training use; ability to use automated systems for sorting; removal of training restricted assets from 

combat calculations; enhanced resource management, budgeting, procurement, maintenance, 

positioning and assessment; reductions in procurement cost; less waste: improved asset posture; 

enhanced safety, training restricted assets not inadvertently issued to fill a combat requirement. 

 b. Disadvantages: Inventory management systems will require programming to accept new 

code; Documents will require updates to include new code. Services which implement SCC T may 

require re-identification of assets currently assigned SCC B. 

8. ASSUMPTIONS USED OR WILL BE USED IN THE CHANGE OR NEW 

DEVELOPMENT: The basic definition for Ammunition Condition Codes addressed in Joint 

Conventional Ammunition Policies and Procedures (JCAPP 08) should remain consistent with SCCs 

as establishment at the DOD/Federal level. 
Attachment, ADC 446

9. ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: 

a. All noted benefits and savings are associated with class V, ammunition and explosives 

items only. Some of the noted benefits may be applicable to classes of supply other than class V. 

 b. Marine Corps requires that SCC T will not apply, or be applied, to Cognizance Code 

0T Marine Corps ground ammunition. 

 c. Implementation Scope: 

 1) Scope of SCCT-Ammunition only: While the requirement for SCC T stemmed 

from the Navy ammunition community, SCC T, as proposed, was not commodity specific. However, 

subsequent Supply PRC discussion/comments and implementation focused on ammunition and 

ammunition systems. Accordingly, initial approval of SCC T is for ammunition use only. 

 2) Service Implementation (refer to paragraph 14 for DOD Component 

responses): 

 a) Initial implementation in October 2012 will be limited to the Ordnance 

Information System (OIS), used by Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard. 

 b) Army requires further analysis to address implementation in Army’s LMP. 

Select service application of SCC T incorporation into U.S. Army’s LMP to support Single 

Manager for Conventional Ammunition (SMCA) customer requirements is dependent upon 

funding to support LMP modification. Further analysis is required to determine supportability and 

implementation timeline for incorporation of SCC T in LMP. This is a new requirement. 

Presently, The Army (SMCA) uses SCC B, with restriction B01 to identify these assets. However, 

the restriction code does not transfer to the Navy OIS system. 

 c) Air Force: After further evaluation of Air Force’s Expeditionary Combat 

Support System (ECSS) and the rest of Air Force IT legacy systems, Air Force reports they will 

not be able to use SCC T without investing a huge amount of money to make the required changes. 

AF states that they will not be able to make the required changes. 

 3) The DOD Components were requested to identify to DLA Logistics Management 

Standards, by December 15, 2011, their interest in expanding use of SCC T to other than 

ammunition. A new PDC for expanded use would be required. No interest in expanding SCC T 

beyond ammunition was expressed at this time. 

 d. Logistics Reassignment Policy. By this ADC the MILSTRAP Administrator is bringing 

the establishment of new SCC T to the attention of the Nonconsumable Item Committee Chair and 

the Integrated Materiel Management Committee (IMMC) Chair, for their review, information, and 

determination of any logistics reassignment (LR) policy impact to references 3.b. and 3.c. 

respectively, regarding transfer of SCCs during logistics reassignment. The MILSTRAP 

Administrator notes that the cited policy publications do not provide LR guidance for the only other 

ammunition specific SCC, SCC N - Suspended (Ammunition Suitable for Emergency Combat Use 

Only). 
Attachment, ADC 446

10. NOTE ANY REGULATIONS OR GUIDANCE: (IF APPLICABLE): 

a. DLMS Data Dictionary for Supply Condition Codes. 

b. DOD 4000.25-2-M, MILSTRAP, Appendix 2.5 (SCCs). 

c. Joint Conventional Ammunition Policies and Procedures (JCAPP 08) Enclosure 2 (Lists 

Ammunition C/Cs). 

11. ESTIMATED TIME LINE/IMPLEMENTATION TARGET: The original Navy intent for 

ammunition applications was for all Services to be able to use and report SCC T, however Army and 

Air Force subsequently revised their initial position and do not plan to implement SCC T.

 1) For Navy/Marine Corps/Coast Guard: the system is the Ordnance Information System (OIS). 

Navy has confirmed intent to implement ADC 446/SCC T in OIS by October 1, 2012. 

 2) For Army: Select service application of SCC T incorporation into U.S. Army’s LMP to 

support SMCA customer requirements is dependent upon funding to support LMP modification. 

Further analysis is required to determine supportability and implementation timeline for 

incorporation of SCC T in LMP. This is a new requirement. Presently, The Army (SMCA) uses 

condition code B, with restriction B01 to identify these assets. However, the restriction code does not 

transfer to the Navy OIS system. 

 3) For Air Force: No plans at this time to implement in the Air Force ammunition system: 

Combat Ammunition System (CAS) at this time. 

12. ESTIMATED SAVINGS/COST AVOIDANCE ASSOCIATED WITH 

IMPLEMENTATION OF THIS CHANGE: 5M dollars annually 

13. IMPACT: 

a. Publications. 

1) Requires update to DLMS Data Dictionary and DOD 4000.25-2-M, MILSTRAP, to 

add a new value to supply condition codes. 

2) DOD MILSTRAP is the authoritative source for SCC. Accordingly, any DOD 

or Component publications that publish the MILSTRAP SCCs must be revised as MILSTRAP 

SCCs are revised. Examples of such publications include, but are not limited to: Joint 

Conventional Ammunition Policies and Procedures (JCAPP) 8. 

STAFFING NOTE: Navy indicates that The Joint Conventional Ammunition Policies and 

Procedures (JCAPP 08) include the basic SCC definitions. JCAPP does not refer to the codes 

as SCCs, the codes are identified as Ammunition C/Cs. There are amplifications associated 

with the Ammunition C/Cs that are not applicable to SCCs. Link to JCAPP 08: 

https://www.us.army.mil/suite/designer , from the web page select “general Info” then 

“JCAPPs” the “JCAPP 08”.
Attachment, ADC 446

3) The following publications will require update to identify policy on whether 

SCC T assets are subject to transfer during a Logistics Reassignment. The policy decision 

would be documented in MILSTRAP Chapter 11, Logistics Reassignment procedures (and 

DLMS, Volume 2): 

(a) DOD 4140.26-M, Defense Integrated Material Management Manual for 

Consumable Items. 

 (b) AMC-R 700-99/NAVSUPINST 4790.7/AFLCR 400-21/MCO P4410.22C, 

Wholesale Inventory Management and Logistics Support of Multi-Service Used Nonconsumable Items. 

b. Automated Information Systems (AIS): Implementing Ammunition systems must 

recognize/process new SCC T. See paragraph 11 above (Estimated Time line/Implementation 

Target). 

 c. DLMS Data Elements: No new DLMS data elements are being added by this change. This 

change adds a new code value the existing DLMS/MILSTRAP SCC. 

14. PDC 399 and draft ADC 446 COMMENTS AND DISPOSITION: 

ORGANIZATION PDC 399 RESPONSE/COMMENT DISPOSITION 

DLA Logistics 

Management 

Standards 

MILSTRAP 

Administrator 

1. Since the requirement for SCC T stemmed from the 

Navy ammunition community, and subsequent Supply 

PRC discussion/comments and implementation focused 

on ammunition and implementation for ammunition 

systems, initial use of SCC T will be confined to 

ammunition. 

Use of SCC T beyond ammunition will be dependent on 

SPRC responses to the ADC cover memo soliciting input on 

expanded use. 

ADC 446 is published limiting SCC T to ammunition. The 

ADC also includes a request for implementation date for 

Army and Air Force ammunition systems. 

2. The Logistics Reassignment (LR) impact, if any, on 

transfer of SCC T during a logistics reassignment in not 

known at this time. 

ADC updated accordingly. 

See page 3, paragraph 9.d. of this 

ADC. 

DLA Concurs, and we will require an SCR. Noted; however request DLA note that 

ultimately SCC T was approved for 

ammunition use only. Use beyond 

ammunition would require a separate 

PDC.

ORGANIZATION PDC 399 RESPONSE/COMMENT DISPOSITION 

USA After initial concurrence, Army provided this updated 

concurrence on 10/14/2011:

HQDA DCS G-4(S) Concurs with PDC 466 with comment: 

Condition code T would only be used by Navy and Marine 

stocks, Army does not have the capability to use SCC T. 

Select service application of SCC "T" incorporation into 

U.S. Army’s Logistics Modernization Program (LMP) to 

support Single Manager for Conventional Ammunition 

(SMCA) customer requirements is dependent upon funding 

to support LMP modification. Further analysis is required 

to determine supportability and implementation timeline for 

incorporation of SCC T in LMP. This is a new requirement. 

Presently, The Army (SMCA) uses condition code B, with 

restriction B01 to identify these assets. However, the 

restriction code does not transfer to the Navy OIS system.

Noted. 

USN Concurs as written and submits no additional changes. Noted. 

USAF 

8/9/2011 

After initial concurrence on 8/9/2011, USAF provided this 

updated response on 9/29/2011: 

After further evaluation of ECSS and the rest of our IT 

legacy systems, we will not be able to use SCC T without 

investing a huge amount of money to make the required 

changes. As you know, currently all our budgets are 

extremely tight. The AF will not be able to make the 

required changes. 

Noted. 

USMC 

8/23/2011 

Concurs with comments: 

1. Paragraph 8. 

a. The Marine Corps requires inclusion of the 

following statement in paragraph 8 of PDC 399: 

i. “SCC T will not apply or be applied to 

Cognizance Code 0T Marine Corps 

ground ammunition” 

b. This will allow the Navy to use SCC T for their 

training ammunition management while 

precluding the Marine Corps from generating 

costly system changes for code that the Marine 

Corps ground ammunition community will not 

use. 

DOD MILSTRAP Administrator 

Response: Paragraph 8 in PDC became 

paragraph 9 in ADC. The following 

statement was added in ADC paragraph 9: 

“Marine Corps requires that SCC T will not 

apply or be applied to Cognizance Code 0T 

Marine Corps ground ammunition”

Navy Ammunition Sentencing Program 

Manager (Code N411E) Response: 

NAVSUP P-805 addresses amplifications to 

established C/Cs for Ammunition. 

Amplification for C/C T will reflect that 

C/C T is not to be applied to 0T COG 

ammo per coordination with 

MARCORSYSCOM PM AMMO.

publication is managed by NAVSUP LOG 

OPS CEN (Ammo). Required changes 

have been drafted for incorporation and will 

be included during Oct 2011 revision.

b. Following publication of these changes in the 

appropriate doctrine, training of new 

classification processes will have to be 

conducted prior to officially reclassifying onhand stock to SCC T. 

i. Notice of ammunition reclassification 

(NAR) program training at formal 

schools and individual unit lesson plans 

will require amendment to incorporate 

SCC T and clarify the definition of 

SCC B. 

ii. All Marine Ordnance personnel will 

require training on the new process of 

classification that implements SCC T 

and the amended classification of SCC B.
